Revitalizing the Internet and VMS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the taste-it-again-for-the-first-time dept.

Da Beave writes "Similar to the "Going Back to the Past of the Internet" /. post, these guys want to not only revitalize the Internet, but the OpenVMS Operating System (Started by Digital, then to Compaq, now to HP....). They have a cluster of VAXen (32 bit) and Alphas (64 bit) for public (non-commercial) usage.... With more compilers than you can shake a stick at, and it's considered one of the most secure OS's around....." VMS was one of the first operating systems I learned to use. This page really brings back some memories, both good and bad.

    I loaded up /. and noticed that I was allowed to metamod again. Looks like the $rtbl has been lifted.

    In an unrelated vein, doesn't it seem a little strange to anybody that Taco hasn't posted a story in like 24 hours?

    Revitalizing BBS's and OS/2

    Remember how you could operate your DOS BBS under OS/2 and still format floppy disks? Well, some geeks have setup OS/2 on some old 486's, and are inviting you to run a BBS on it! They've got 4 com ports per machine (mouse is PS/2), so sign up now to reserve one!
